Drill Baby – What?
I can only scratch my head. The GOP is calling the President’s response to the worst environmental disaster since the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, since the asteroid impact wiped out the dinosaurs (Jesus horses to you creationists) as too much. In fact, they are calling for less regulation! Really Rand Paul? You want the government out of everything… then get the hell out of government, grab your guns and hunker down at Ruby Ridge with your Cool Aid and your bible. We’ll be right in to get you… or not. Maybe your crazy self with starve to death up there where you can become bear food and fertilizer for a tree you would rather cut down for your back deck.
Here’s a reminder of what less regulation is all about. The Savings and Loan meltdown under Reagan. Enron’s raping and plundering and rolling blackouts, triggered by the greed of potential electricity trading profits, of California under George W Bush. The “off the books” pillaging of the American military and, consequently, every single hard working American by Halliburton overcharging for meals and “support” of the troops in Iraq. And now, the faulty parts and equipment of Dick Cheney’s “former” company (Halliburton again) have blown their collective gaskets spewing millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. This is the worst unnatural disaster ever. It will affect the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, even the entire oceanic coverage of the earth for perhaps hundreds of years. Drill baby drill. Let’s go. Let’s drill the pristine Alaskan tundra. Let’s drill the outer continental shelf. Let’s deregulate everything and stop picking on poor BP. Oil companies are just trying to supply what we want. So what if they make a few bucks, kill a few roughnecks and rape the entire planet of other, more precious resources?
Drill baby drill. Let’s fire up the drills. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
